Kevin Jackson: Flight 370 Media Coverage is 'Outrageous'

The media has been way over the top covering the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 — peppering reports with speculation and guesswork, according to Newsmax Washington Correspondent John Gizzi and conservative radio host Kevin Jackson.

"It's almost like it is turning this into a drama of some kind, or a short-running miniseries," said Gizzi, who appeared on a panel with Jackson on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.

"It's serious, and … we need to keep the families of the 270 missing passengers in our prayers," said Gizzi. But at the same time, to speculate about what may or may not have happened, raise hopes, to create a scenario for a sinister plot does them worse than the worse news of all that would come in."

Jackson, author of the book "The BIG Black Lie," published by Amazon Digital Services, added:

"It's outrageous. I was thinking is the Lindbergh baby on there, Amelia Earhart, or did they find Jimmy Hoffa's body on this plane? What are they looking for? …

"If my family was on the plane, I'd want to know what happened. I would certainly, by this point, figure, you know what, it's probably not going to be a good outcome.

"But … I mean, is one of the O.J. bodies on there? Did O.J. escape and is he flying the plane? It's to the point of ridiculousness."
